The original novel is considered a groundbreaking work of literature within Japan: some have even compared it to ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'' in terms of how it affected the Japanese hard sci-fi genre. ''Sentou Yousei Yukikaze'' and ''Good Luck, Yukikaze'' both won the prestigious UsefulNotes/SeiunAward in 1985 & 2000, respectively. Kambayashi himself was ranked #3 of Best Japanese Sci-Fi Writers of All Time [[http://www.locusmag.com/2006/News/03_HayakawaAllTimePoll.html in a 2006 poll]] conducted by ''S-F Magazine''.

* CoolGuns: The FAF's standard-issue weapons are apparently the Glock 17 pistol and P90 personal defense weapon in the anime. The novels don't mention actual brand names, but Rei has two bullpup [=SMGs=] stashed in Yukikaze as survival guns that fire .221 caliber bullets[[note]]This was likely based off of the [[https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/Colt_IMP IMP-221]]. An experimental gun developed in 1968/1969 for the U.S. Air Force, the Individual Multi-Purpose was a small bullpup firearm chambered in [[https://www.chuckhawks.com/221fireball.htm .221]] [[http://www.cartridgecollector.net/17221-imp calibers]] meant to give pilots who had crash-landed a weapon to survive with[[/note]]. As for the FAF pistols, the only detail the novels reveal is that they have a 13-round capacity and are chambered in 9mm. As the original novel was written from 1979-1984, process of elimination makes it [[https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/the-browning-hi-power-a-gun-ahead-of-its-time the Browning Hi-Power]], the only pistol in existence at the time that had those two characteristics.

* PressureSensitiveInterface: After Rei detonates a missile at close range to destroy an unidentified aircraft, the canopy is shredded, the GuyInBack bails out, and Yukikaze goes into an out-of-control spiral that he cannot recover from. It takes several harrowing seconds before Rei realizes the cause of the spiral is that he has lost all feeling in his right arm due to shrapnel from the explosion, and he was unconsciously pressing down way too hard on the pressure-sensitive touchpad flight controls.
